I want to see various types of well built men in skimpy clothing in a screen similar to the one shown above with the three nymphs/women on the menu screen. The closest I can come to remembering this type of display in a game was asking to see the male merchandise at The Pearl in Dragon Age: Origins. Something similar…

It'd be interesting to see if any female gamers (obviously, there are different groups of them, so their power fantasies may look different) agree.

Are you sure? That looked more like Quelaag.

I don't mind sexualized figures as long as it's fair. Have some hyper-sexualized male characters wearing thong armor as they do in gay comics and I'll be entirely on-board. Heck, have a selection screen at the main screen where you can choose what type of imagery you are welcome to seeing. I'm an equal opportunity…

I'm curious as to whether any female gamers identify with any of the characters as the fulfillment of a female power fantasy. I'm so used to being inundated with male power fantasies, male sexual fantasies and female sexual fantasies, that I forget how a female power fantasy would look. Is it the Amazon, with muscles…

Marketing teams are very clueless when it comes to audiovisual presentation. Unlike a film trailer, which takes 30 seconds or more of the best parts of the footage to create a sizzle reel full of the best parts put together in an entertaining way, these free play demos having a time limit of less than 1 minute…

This is why game developers should be using increased computer power to enhance the ways player characters can interact with the world. I really liked "Bioshock", but the edible item health mechanic felt lazy and I didn't even like the Shield stat - it took away from the intensity of a fight and is over-used in…

I get what you are saying: I just had to comment about how hilarious it is that social media can become more of a straight-jacket if you don't understand that its' the equivalent of shouting out to a crowded room than just keeping your most intimate thoughts private or shared very sparsely.

It's really interesting how our jobs become so intertwined with our personal lives through social media that speaking your mind can get you fired for tarnishing your employer's brand. Even if you say nothing inflammatory. It reminds me of the dystopian futures in "Blade Runner" and the Weyland-Yutani company in…

Congratulations on not inserting the obvious fanservice of Gwynevere's cleavage.

I tend to like more realistic art styles, so I like the anime artwork more than the images used in the manga. It looks interesting, but the animation could use more polish. This actually reminds me somewhat of the "enhanced reality" used in "Bravely Default" in that the anime backgrounds look like stock photos of real…

I really enjoy my XBOX360 but have since turned to PC gaming. It's just more convenient for me since I can play while my partner is watching TV. Anyway, while I love the internet, always on connections is a no for me. I don't always want to be online and even if its' passive, though I live in a big city, internet…

He has no lips. And the sharpness of the side bang should leave a trail of blood along his chin.

There is a saying that with limitations comes creativity. When many of the people we consider great designers, writers or artists are given free reign, the result is often a mess with no discipline. The editors, co-writers and various behind-the-scenes people (even budgetary limitations) often enable an artist to…

Agreed. I really enjoyed this interview about the person in front of the camera and how multiple industries have evolved. Very enjoyable and well done, Mr. Schreier!

Maybe there is a possibility that they could be related. The Assassin doesn't have a cleft chin and more defined cheek bones, though. I like porn and respect the actors and actresses, though, so I almost clicked that link until I remembered that I was at work. Oops!

That sounds like a great idea and a good way for the series to perpetuate itself. The character turns out to be Zeus, and the whole Wheel of Fate would start spinning again.

Thanks for the clarification.

Zeus isn't bloodthirsty, actually, but he definitely took what women he wanted and exercised his omnipotence very frequently. Ares was typically painted as the bloodthirsty one, who was less of a king and more of the embodiment of the brutality of exercising force. I think the Hebrew/Christian God was actually more…

I think Kratos is a douche, so I definitely agree with your points. I played through the first, but couldn't get into the character and thought the story was weak. I don't have anything against people who like the series and are entertained by it, though. I tend to like the healer and explorer-type characters, so a…
